From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to EVERYONE who helped make the 64th Annual Newtown Labor Day Parade such an incredible day!

We are incredibly grateful to our Title Sponsor, Newtown Savings Bank, our Platinum Sponsors — Rob Rozz Plumbing, Teamsters Local Union 1150, Maplewood Senior Living, and Ingersoll Auto — and our Gold Sponsors — Newtown MediSpa, Ives Bank, Rotary Club of Newtown, and Service Stars. Your tremendous support means so much to our parade and our community.

⭐ But it truly takes ALL of our sponsors to make this parade happen!

To every business, organization, family, and community partner who sponsored, donated, provided services, contributed supplies, or helped us in ways big and small — THANK YOU! Every contribution matters, and together, you help us bring this Newtown tradition to life.

We hope our community will return that support by supporting these amazing businesses and organizations throughout the year. They show up for Newtown, and we are so fortunate to have them!

To our participants, performers, first responders, community organizations, volunteers, and everyone who marched — you ARE the parade! Thank you for bringing the creativity, excitement, patriotism, and community spirit that make this day so special.

And to everyone who lined the streets, cheered us on, and stayed until the very end — THANK YOU! Seeing our community come together is what the Newtown Labor Day Parade is all about.

And now... ON TO #65!

❤️🤍💙 ONE LITTLE PARADE DAY REQUEST… STAY UNTIL THE END! ❤️🤍💙

Tomorrow, as you find your favorite spot along the parade route, we have one small favor to ask — please stay and cheer until the very last participant passes by!

Every group you see has put time, effort, creativity, and a whole lot of heart into being part of the Newtown Labor Day Parade. From those leading the parade to those bringing up the very end, every single participant deserves to see smiling faces, hear applause, and feel the love of our Newtown community. ❤️

So grab a chair, settle in, wave those flags, clap a little louder, and stick with us until the end!

Let’s make sure the last participant receives just as big a cheer as the first. 🥰

Year after year, Newtown Country Club generously provides us with golf carts to help our Parade Committee and staff travel along the route, manage logistics, and keep everything running smoothly on parade day.

These golf carts are an absolute lifesaver for our team, and we are so grateful for Newtown Country Club’s continued generosity and support of the Newtown Labor Day Parade! ❤️🤍💙

A HUGE Thank You to Some Very Important Parade Partners! ❤️🤍💙

We are incredibly grateful to ALL of the wonderful sponsors who help make the Newtown Labor Day Parade possible each year — we truly couldn’t do it without you!

But there are a few businesses that provide some of those behind-the-scenes essentials that we quite literally could NOT have a parade without! 🙌

🚻 GI Johns — Thank you for helping us provide the portolettes we need throughout the parade route. You came through for us in a BIG way this year, and we are so grateful to have you as part of our parade family!

🗑️ All American Waste & Associated Refuse — Thank you for helping us keep the parade route clean and providing the waste services we need for thousands of spectators along the route!

These may not be the most glamorous parts of putting on a parade, but they are absolutely essential — and we are incredibly thankful for the businesses that step up to help our community.

Please remember the businesses that support YOUR community and support them throughout the year! ❤️

Thank you for being AMAZING parade partners!
